Help! 11 week old not sleeping!

I really am at a loss! My 11 week old DS2 was sleeping from about 11pm-4.30/5am from about 9 weeks. After the early morning bottle he would then sleep til 7.30. The last few days we've gone back to a sleep pattern like the first few weeks. He wakes every two hours. We tried him with the faster teats but they were too fast, I persevered for a couple of days but he was being quite sick as he was taking too much milk. He is unsettled during the day as well, often cat napping and snacking on 1-2oz at a time instead of 5oz and fighting sleep.

What's happening? Is it a growth spurt? Sleep regression? DS1 is being very sweet and DH does help but works long hours so I do the night feeds. I am spending my days in a blur as I'm so tired again! 😴😴

Sounds very much like a growth spurt and your LO is taking as much nutrition on board to grow.

12 week growth spurt a little early? Growth spurts suck but they do come out of it. Usually.

Babies chop and change their sleep pattern at any given moment, sadly!

I think leap 3 is around week 12. I remember my baby was also affected during that time. Google wonder weeks.
